BJ's Brewhouse Opens in Palmetto Bay: A Root Beer Brewpub (Photos)

The menu is vast -- from pizza to burgers, wraps, steaks, salads, soups, sandwiches, desserts, pasta, appetizers, cocktails, and a lunch menu. There is also a kids' menu, a gluten-free menu, the option to order online, curbside take-out, and catering. An "enlightened" menu includes reduced-calorie fare such as creole tilapia, chicken a la fresca, and Hawaiian mahi-mahi.

Twelve TV sets strategically adorn the interior, as well as the patio, good for catching a ball game on the weekends.

Besides in-house brews, BJ's carries a guest tap list that includes rotating craft beers from several regions of the world: Arrogant Bastard, Cigar City, etc. And the bartending and wait staffs are up-to-date on their beer knowledge, having been trained by BJ's brewmaster Michael 'Mufasa' Ferguson, one of the notable members of the brewing team.
